Another DuMondezvous - Tahoe-Style

It started last fall in western Idaho at the Bucy's. Then there was the Lake Las Vegas reunion as we simultaneously celebrated Josh Bucy's graduation from UNLV. Now, a new DuMondezvous took place in early August at the home of Cynthea and Steve Preston in beautiful South Lake Tahoe.

Here are some pics from the wonderful few days we got to spend with some fabulous folks...
